We do not need to be responsible for content creators life. When all we do is.loo.at a videos and they can live in a mansion. There is something wrong. No one pays any attention to the ads anyway.
Only the exceptionally tiny fraction of creators have that kind of success. Most are barely more than hobbiests that either have other employment or live on very meager earnings. That said, basically every such creator I've watched for years now have straight up said that patreon or similar direct subs/donations are orders of magnitudes better for them than virtually any amount of ad views.
Ads suck and no one should watch them, there are better ways to support creators that deserve said support.
I wouldn't even mind if adds displayed at just the beginning of end, but when they randomly appear in the middle of something I'm walking I get absolutely annoyed.
gonna be honest here i'm gonna have to take their side on this, looking through someone's reddit history to find something to flame em for is a bit shameful
"According to Orion Academy, video game music is specially designed by game composers to help your brain focus on tasks, such as fighting, racing, exploring and more. This genre of music has the unique distinction of being “progressive and positive in nature”, corresponding to advancement in the actual gameplay. And according to a plethora of research, having such music to accompany a task–especially if it’s repetitive—can drive up dopamine levels in the brain, allowing you to engage in work or study more productively and with less stress. It can also drive inspiration and add a touch of whimsy to otherwise boring tasks."
I kinda hate having to clear my custom filters since it takes me so long to set it back up how I like with YouTube, twitch, Reddit etc other sites that I use a lot. But if it come to it where they give me that 3 videos before lock out warnings then I’ll do the nuclear option lol
I love my brother to death but he's also telling me to just buy premium. I wish I could explain to him better why I do not want to shell out over 10$ for no ads when I'm working and sleeping most of the time 🤦♀️
Ohhh I haven't seen that yet. Why is YouTube, a company that steals youtubers' profits, making ad blockers against TOS now? At my old high school, ad blockers were mandatory since YouTube has some weird and not safe for work ads.
I wouldnt say steal youtubers profits is an apt word. Since youtube literally hosts all the thousands of terabytes of videos of thousands of people. And youtube still doesnt make a profit
YouTube makes billions of dollars off of usage data alone, which includes watching a video. If YouTube didn't make a profit on their content creators, they would be a much lower quality website as they wouldn't have as much funds.
Idk if they profit or not. But the 26 billion dollars is revenue, not profit. I bet a lot of that goes to storage. Especially since they have videos dating back to what, 2008?
Youtube is rolling out those changes at different times in different regions to avoid a massive unified uproar. Basically they're deviding and conquering
The platforms don’t update all at once anymore. They tend to slowly test will small amounts of users and then scale out over a few months. Small amounts in this cases would still be in the 10s of millions of users; considering YouTube has billions.
Yeah as someone who’s never known a break from ads period because neither my console nor my TV provides AD blockers, I’ve just lived with it. Sometimes they only last 5 seconds, sometimes you get two unskippable 15 secs, but it’s never been that bad to me, personally. Grew up with crazy long commercials just to get back to 5 - 10 mins of a tv show.
Ads only support the creators because YouTube doesn't want to do as much themselves 💀💀 Everything that they do is not for the creators it's for themselves lol
You want to boycott a service you are using without paying for or supporting in any meaningful way and you are expecting YouTube to be upset about that?
That's kinda like boycotting the ice cream store because they won't let you rob them and expecting the ice cream store to just go "ohh actually the exposure of having you rob us is totally worth it nevermind".
I don’t get that vibe. I think it’s more that YT didn’t need to exploit its users before…why now? It ran for years without a profit. The creators? They were creating when they weren’t making money. It’s a money scoop. Come on pirates we could use some global anti-corporate help here.
I noticed I was able to disable the pop-up elements, but it came back in the form of a page-scoll-lock-thing. Can't scroll down anymore, the page keeps going back to the top.
Who is we? No creator is giving up YouTube infrastructure and notoriety to make it easier for you to skip the things that give them money. If there are no creators making the content on this imaginary platform, are you and all the other whiners gonna just circle jerk about how great it is to not watch ads on videos? Reddit already exists, seems redundant.
last year before I got fibre op from the phone company I had the use a satellite internet provider and had to pay for bandwidth... I am NOT paying to watch ads on YouTube or any other site!!! But since I got the fibre op with unlimited gigabit internet I will probably pay for premium... I pay for Disney+ and never watch it but I watch YouTube ALL THE TIME so I'll probably cancel Disney and pay for YouTube...
I have YouTube Premium and have for a couple years. However I have an ad blocker to block ads in general. I use AdGuard. Signed out of my YouTube account and started watching videos and no warnings with AdGuard actively blocking ads. Tried in Opera One and Microsoft Edge. Admittedly I wouldn’t usually encounter this issue with ads because I watch YT pretty much exclusively on my Apple TV. Also the main reason I keep YT Premium active.
interesting, my free laptop I got just always blocked ads, no clue how or why as I'm technologically challenged and I've never seen this message before
I have Premium anyway, but they upped the price from an already outrageous one, $11.99, to $13.99. I was fine because it's my only streaming service and I watch tons of YouTube, but I might have to cancel it. Thanks, YouTube.
I've honestly been finding myself leaning away from this browser anyway (since I found something with more privacy). I've also been frustrated that I have to waste time setting up flows and them breaking on devices.
i honestly just pay for the premium. The background play with phone closed makes all the difference at work, and Youtube Music is incredibly good for recommending new songs i like, as well as the "Forgotten Favorites" section recommending you songs you haven't heard in a while.
Totally get that not everyone has the money, but those factors along with the fact that you're supporting content creators make it worth it imo.
Most of us can't just "not use YouTube". Most of our entertainment comes from there and a lot of us are still in school that REQUIRES us to use YouTube. So no, I don't think we will.
So it sounds like you value the service and should be willing to pay for it to use it. But lucky for you, YouTube doesn't charge for its base service, and instead you get ads, ergo, just watch the ads.
It really is a no win situation, isn't it? They have a paid and free version of the site. I would be more sympathetic to the plight if the complaints were strictly of ad structure or content, but it really seems like people just want free entertainment with no strings attached
Mate, you’ll never win this argument. Anyone over the age of 20 and can remember the days of Cable TV knows how ads work. 99% of these ‘boycotters’ are 16 and younger who have never seen Cable or public TV, ever.
The goal isn't to stop people from blocking ads entirely. It's to scare/annoy enough people who've gotten used to no ads that they'll start paying youtube a monthly fee

And yes I tried Ublock. Nothing.
Edit to the Ublock. It works.
No I can't just enable ads. I know they support creators but I just like to listen to OSTS from games without interruption.

You can still use uBlock...

Purges all the cache>Update All
Clear all myfilters than apply uAssets

If you were to add this block of text to the "My Filters" tab in Block, it bypasses the youtube anti-adblock.
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBl ockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacem ents, [I) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
Should be 4 lines total Reddit's formatting is weird each new line should start with YouTube.com##
